The couple's new year bucket list: adventure to take together in 2025
New year resolution? Yawn. Been there, and failed that, happens. But this year, you and your partner should spice things up– not with another yoga class you'll attend twice and ghost, but with a full-blown bucket list.
New year resolution? Yawn. Been there, and failed that, happens. But this year, you and your partner should spice things up– not with another yoga class you'll attend twice and ghost, but with a full-blown bucket list. And no, this isn't your basic "eat healthier" or "save more money" nonsense.
This is about adventure, thrill and a dash of chaos (because every relationship thrives on controlled madness, right?). So here it is: their 2024 couple's bucket list– equal parts ambitious and ridiculous– because if you're not borderline insane with your goals, are you even living?

Skydiving: Because trust falls are for cowards.
What better way to start the year than hurtling toward the earth at terminal velocity while your partner screams their love for you, depending on their mood that day?
Skydiving has made it to the top of my bucket list because nothing strengthens a relationship like trusting someone who believes this is a good idea. Plus, you'll get to check off "confronting irrational fears together" while capturing some amazing Instagram content. #CoupleGoals, am I right?
"The best way to overcome fear is to face it with someone who believes in you."
Camping: Survival of the wittiest
Let's be real: camping is just a socially acceptable way of pretending you're homeless for a weekend. But it's on their bucket list because they're trying to become outdoorsy people. Picture them struggle to pitch a tent, arguing over who forgot the bug spray, and bonding while fending off raccoons.
It's the kind of experience that makes or breaks relationships– and they're betting on "makes", provided neither of them ends up bearing food.
Road Trip: Testing the limits of love and Google Maps
A couple's bucket list wouldn't be complete without a road trip. And by "road trip", imagine hours of singing off-key to a Spotify playlist, debating the merit of gas station snacks, and getting hilariously lost because somebody refuses to ask for directions. It's a classic relationship rite of passage. Who needs therapy when you can navigate backroads with questionable Wi-Fi?
A tech-free weekend: unplugging
Here's a wild idea: spending 48 hours without phones, laptops, or Netflix. Shocking, I know. This bucket list item is about rediscovering each other in a world without notifications. Will this bask in uninterrupted togetherness or realize they desperately need distractions to survive? Stay tuned for the outcome– if they survive long enough to turn their devices back on.
Learning to dance: The two-left-feet tango
One of them has rhythm; the other is a human metronome gone rogue. Guess who's who? Learning to dance together made their bucket list because nothing screams "out of comfort zone" like stepping on each other's toes repeatedly. Plus, it'll be a test of their ability to handle constructive criticism, which, as it turns out, is not either of their strong suits, the goal? Be the couple everyone envies at weddings. The reality? They'll settle for not tripping each other.
Scuba Diving: Exploring the depths of each other's patience
Are you ready for an underwater adventure? Sign them up for scuba diving! It's on their bucket list because it perfectly symbolizes their relationship: sometimes thrilling, occasionally terrifying, and now and then involving sharks. Picture them communicating with awkward hand signals, marvelling at coral reefs, and trying not to panic when a fish gets too close. By the end of the experience, they'll have breath-taking memories and, just maybe, fewer arguments about who is hogging the oxygen tank.
"Scuba diving together is a reminder that the best treasures are found beneath the surface."
Stargazing: because romance deserves a soft focus
For the grand finale of their bucket list, they are keeping it simple: lying under the stars with a blanket spread out and a snack in hand. There’s no Wi-Fi and no distractions, just the two of them and the cosmos. It’s a cheesy, cinematic moment that relationships thrive on. If they happen to see a shooting star, you can bet they’ll wish for more adventures—and maybe fewer near-death experiences.
Becoming "Tourists" in your own city
Dedicate a weekend to explore hidden gems in your city– try new restaurants, visit museums, or go on walking tours. Rediscovering your city together offers a fresh perspective and reminds you how much adventure can be found close to home.
The goal of this bucket list isn't just ticking boxes or winning at Instagram. It's about growth, laughter, and surviving challenges- big and small- together. Adventures don't always go as planned, but that's what makes them memorable. So, in 2024, don't just settle for "happy". Aim for messy, thrilling, and unforgettable. Just don't forget the bug spray and a backup plan.
It's your gateway to finding someone who’ll want to try this chaotic list with you. Whether it’s scuba diving or surviving IKEA, why do it alone when you can drag someone else along for the ride? Your bucket list deserves better, try Idyll: Where Adventures (and Sarcasm) begin.
